this is just an idea but seeing as some of the people who have the fastest machines are going to be gamers would it be possibly to sort of pause it when you launch some applications so that it frees up the resources nessecary to play games at high frame rates? this could also be used if you opened defragmentator or a virus scanner in scan mode etc... that way a cpu intensive application the user wants to run in the foreground can be done at full speed faster freeing up time for this later.

sorry for the double post but you cant edit confused anyway i thought that you could either do the above suggestion or have an indefinente snooze so you told it to go to to sleep or a lower state where it saves its state to the hdd and completely shuts down and then comes back when you tell it to like hibernate for windows.
sorry still getting used to this forum ignore the other thread. |

You can snooze (send to sleep) the client for an interval of up to 120 minutes by setting the appropriate time in the preferences screen or you can just exit it (right click on the icon in the taskbar and select exit) and restart it when you are done with your other program.
